Bunnies on Parade!

It's almost Spring.... well, at least one can hope! 
As inspiration, here are lots o' bunnies to get you thinking about Easter, which arrives very early this year (March 27th). Loving all of the Frantic Stamper bunny dies - in every shape and size! Lots of pretty spring-y hues (and sentiments/images from this adorable stamp set) that will surely get you in the mood to create a beautiful card, and perhaps a tag or two for those lovely, chocolate-filled Easter baskets!

The Challenge #60

I'm privileged to be playin' along again with the talented crew at The Challenge! Oh, just look at the bee-u-ti-ful color combo that is this week's inspiration!
This lovely SU stamp/die set was my starting point and the tiny polka dotted bow and adorable scalloped tag were the perfect additions to this celebratory b'day card!
Hope that you too will find inspiration in the DT's fabulous creations and this wonderful color challenge! Please join in at The Challenge #60!

Birthday Boy!

If you are anything like me, those masculine b'day cards are a challenge! Frequently, it's a mad dash to the craft cave to create something clean and simple enough to qualify as a 'boy' card' (nope... no flowers or sequins allowed!).
So, here's my solution - the perfect grey, a pop of red and a flash of white.... CAS as it gets!
Love this Frantic Stamper Number Collage die panel and the bold block font of the Mixed Font Happy Birthday, which make for a quick and easy card!

CAS(E) this Sketch #158

Happy Thursday, and time for another sweet, and oh so versatile, sketch (from Sam)!
I've used a bit of bright/happy textured cs, banner and oval dies from Frantic Stamper and a great sentiment from SU. Oh, and a tiny flower/leaf combo as the finishing touch. A few liberties may have been taken in the positioning of the banners. Perhaps some memory loss occurred while making the trip from my computer to the basement craft cave?
Just take a peek at what the fantabulous DT has created for CAS(E) this Sketch #158, and then join in!

The Challenge #59!

Here's one great reason to look forward to Mondays...... playing along with the fabulous DT at The Challenge! The sweet Kim Heggins has invited little ol' me to join in the fun for the month of February and I am so, SO delighted.

These new SU goodies were calling to me and are a lovely fit for the sketch. Nothin' too fancy - just  a bit of Hawaiian Shores cs/ink, some pretty stamping, a few lovely circle dies, and a touch of black for contrast.

Hope that you'll be inspired by The Challenge #59 sketch! Can't wait to see what you've created!

12 Kits of Occasions - January 2016!

I am SO very happy to be joining The 12 Kits of Occasions crew and quite excited to be creating with all of these very talented ladies!
Our January 'hostess with the most-est, Lindsey, has packaged a beautiful kit, 'Celebrating You', which includes an abundance of crafty goodies and a color palette that includes some of my favorites!
So many ideas, so many combinations... I wasn't quite sure where to begin. There is a strategy involved here - which starts with a tidy workspace - and ends, hopefully, with some lovely projects. And, there are more than enough supplies to indulge those leftover ideas too!
I can't wait for you to see what the a-mazing DT has created, so hop over to 12 Kits of Occasions!
